ORIGAMI
Hello, today I will introduce you the origami in the classroom.
Origami is the art of Japanese origin of paper folding, which in Spanish is also known as 'papiroflexia'. The origin of the word comes from two Japanese words oru (fold) and kami (paper).
Origami, which we can consider as an art, a science and an entertainment, has a great importance in the learning of mathematics. For the mathematician, the beauty of origami is in its simple geometry. On each piece of paper there are geometric patterns, combinations of angles and lines that allow the sheet to have varied and interesting shapes.
There are fundamental geometric shapes that give rise to a variety of models, called bases. The traditional models derive from four bases, developed by the Japanese, known as the kite, the fish, the bird and the frog.
ADVANTAGES OF WORKING WITH IT
- It develops psychomotricity and, fundamentally, fine psychomotricity, as well as spatial perception.
- It motivates the child to be creative, since he can develop his own models. You can also investigate the connection you have with the geometry not only flat, but also spatial.
- It relates the discipline of mathematics with other sciences, such as the arts, for example.
- For the little ones, it can be a great opportunity to approach the concepts of straight lines, diagonals, rectangles, squares, triangles, etc. I recommend making origami with them since it is creative, fun and economical.
Also you can ask them to make some geometrical figures as you can see in the picture.
